American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that he is working on an anthology spin-off series called American Horror Stories.
In a post on Instagram, Murphy explained that the show will feature self-contained hour-long episodes. That means stories that last just a single episode, in contrast to American Horror Story’s anthology approach of a standalone story set across an entire season.
Murphy’s photo post features many of the core American Horror Story cast, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, and Angela Bassett, taken from a Zoom call. “American Horror Story cast Zoom call,” Murphy said. “Where we reminisced about the good times…the spin off we’re doing called American Horror Stories (one hour contained episodes)…when we will start filming the next season of the mothership…and other stuff I cannot print.”

Murphy posted no further details, so it’s currently unclear how far into production American Horror Stories is, or when we can expect to see it air.
FX has renewed American Horror Story for a further four seasons, with Season 10 due to start later in 2020. This season will feature Macaulay Culkin, as well as the return of Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters. Our review of the first episode of Season 9 – American Horror Story: 1984 – said that the show is freaky and fun once again, and with any luck American Horror Stories can continue to balance the fun with the strange and terrifying.
